I have found the "correct" expiration date is not needed, just one later than today. Some of my cards get extended for 2-3 years at a time. I've changed the date used online to just one year out and the charges go through. So yes they can. Also, some CC will not only update merchants with new dates, but even new card numbers! Kinda defeats the usefulness to get a new account number when fraud has happened.

AP rates are suppose to bill at the time of booking, BUT many properties don't. If the charge fails to process, Hilton can look to the account to find a good number and they have the right to pursue legal action as they can claim you provided a false account when booking the room.
